Welcome to the September edition of Beartown Voice!
I hope you had a wonderful summer, filled with good times spent with your neighbours, friends, and family. As the weeks have passed, I’ve found myself reflecting on how quickly time seems to be flying by since the days of COVID—though maybe that's just a sign of getting older!
My son is about to start his final year of high school, and I’m feeling a whirlwind of emotions. As a parent, there’s always the worry about exams and the future. This moment feels like such a significant milestone—up until now, his path has been somewhat predetermined, but now he’s at the crossroads of choosing whether to dive into a career or continue his studies. Above all, I just want him to find happiness and success, whatever that may look like for him. Success isn’t about becoming a millionaire; it’s about finding joy in what you do. I always remind him that life doesn’t have to be meticulously planned out right now. There’s plenty of room to adapt, change direction, or even retrain as life unfolds.
I speak from experience—my career path has been anything but linear. I started out in health and social care, spent nearly two decades as a radio presenter, served as a police officer, set up a printing business, and now, I’m running Beartown Voice! And believe it or not, I’m training for something new again—but I’ll share more about that in the future!
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this edition, filled with local businesses, services, and articles that I think you’ll find interesting. Until next time!
